Childhood asthma and homeopathy: Personal Care

When I see young children being given high doses of anti-allergic medication and inhalants for their chest complaints, I feel sorry for them. Well, I have full respect for the doctors who wish only good for the child and therefore treat the child with the intention of alleviating his complaints. But many homeopaths like me have encountered this fact that when the child is given the inhalers or related medication for his asthma or any chest or allergic complaint, his natural resistance power deteriorates over the period of time. We are aiming to cure the child but by prescribing high doses, we are only curbing his natural immunity.

Also in most cases, we have observed that the child has more of bronchitic changes rather than asthma due to varied causative factors. The Hyper-Reactive Airway Disease also presents itself in similar fashion and therefore a doctor must be able to differentiate between the diseases a child is suffering from.

We are not advocating homeopathy because we are dealing with homeopathy. As good doctors, our first aim is to alleviate the symptoms of the child having wheezy chest, cough, cold, and breathlessness. But while doing so, we want to improve his overall well-being so that he is able to repel future attacks of such respiratory diseases. I think it is quite simple to understand. And many homeopathic masters have seen miraculous and fast cures in cases of respiratory allergies and asthma.

Even the modern medicine experts will agree to the fact that the childhood asthma usually vanishes on its own after a certain period of time. Therefore, we as doctors should encourage parents to have little patience and see your child in light of long term health.

After watching many children go through different modes of treatments, we have concluded that a child that gets homeopathic treatment is much stronger in constitution once he grows older (of 6-7 years) than the child who is on stronger medicinal dosages since birth.

Only thing is, choice of homeopathic medicines is very crucial and the homeopath must formulate the exact constitution of the child for prescribing him accurately. With homeopathy, it is possible to cure childhood asthma, bronchitis, and related illnesses and render a peaceful sleep for your child!
